Death of Mrs. Collier

Last night, though dark and stormy, the ever busy Angel of Death hovered over 
one of our homes, and called away from the scenes of earth one of the oldest and 
best known ladies of our community, Mr. Caroline Collier, widow of the late  
Col. George Collier, who was at one time one of the most prominent men in 
Eastern North Carolina.

Mrs. Collier's maiden name was Oliver. She was a sister of Mr. William H. Oliver 
of Newbern.

Until recently Mrs. Collier enjoyed excellent health, but for the past few weeks 
it was evident that not far away the messenger stood beckoning home the weary 
pilgrim.

Mrs. Collier was blessed in her children. No mother ever received more careful, 
patient, loving attention at the hands of her children, and it was beautiful to 
behold their devotion to their mother.
